Tyneside Cinema is committed to a multi-faceted approach to sustainability, encompassing local sourcing, resource management, community engagement, and social responsibility.For food and beverage, the cinema prioritises local suppliers, with all cask beer sourced from local breweries (Tyneside Blonde, Anarchy Brew, North Pier Brew) and coffee/teas from local businesses such as Tynemouth Coffee. While some beverages are from national businesses, they are delivered from a local depot. Supplier sustainability is considered by reviewing environmental policies and certifications (e.g., IG Group's ISO14001, Ringtons' ethical trade practices, Lanchester Wines' sustainability efforts). Local suppliers are also chosen to support the local economy, even if explicit sustainability information is not always available.The cinema actively manages its resources. To reduce waste, a 10% discount is offered for customers bringing their own reusable cups, coffee machines operate on eco-mode overnight, lights are turned off in unused rooms, and no products with plastic packaging are sold. Reusable items include coffee cups, plates, cutlery, glasses, coffee bean storage barrels, and plastic wine glasses for cinema use. Waste is separated into general, recycling, and glass, with plans to use OPRL codes and inquire about PRNs/PERNs. Energy consumption is monitored daily, utilising LED lighting, low-power settings for glass washing, a BMS system for heating control, and PIR sensors for automatic light shut-off. Water consumption is managed with sensor taps and smart meters. Waste is tracked via a bin bag counting system to understand quantities and set future goals.Customer involvement in sustainable practices is encouraged through posters that inform about recycling and request customers return recyclable items to the bar. Sustainability efforts are also communicated via the website and social media. Internally, staff are kept informed through group chats, email, and venue posters, with training records maintained using the Bright system.Tyneside Cinema also fosters an inclusive and safe environment. Accessibility features include ramps, lifts, automatic doors, accessible toilets, accessible seating in screens, Braille signposting, hard of hearing film screenings, and hearing loops. Staff receive accessibility and inclusion training, and reduced price tickets are offered. Cultural opportunities are provided through collaborations with local artists for exhibitions, workshops, and markets. Staff safety is addressed with Shout Out! certification, strict zero-tolerance policies, the Ask for Angela scheme, and access to therapy services. Employee satisfaction is measured through group chats and regular surveys, with compliance to employment laws demonstrated via comprehensive staff documentation.
